How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • “A motion for a new trial should not be granted, therefore, where the moving party has failed to timely object to the alleged impropriety giving rise to the motion.”
  • “Manifestly, the district court’s alleged error in permitting Jose to refer to the cartoon in his closing argument without later giving what amounts to an unsolicited cautionary instruction was not sufficiently obvious or severe to render an objection by the plaintiff unnecessary.”
  • \The failure to object at the proper time will be overlooked on appeal only if exceptional circum- stances exist such as when the error is so obvious or so serious that the public reputation and integrity of the judicial proceeding is impaired.\
